I'm sorry I have been missing for a while. Life has gotten crazy...Mom is now in hospice care, and we are in the midst of moving my elderly in-laws here from Arizona. But I wanted to pop in because I've missed the wonderful encouragement and support of my Chub33 pals! Hope you are all doing well.
On a more positive note, I am training to run the half marathon at WDW in January! The training is giving me something else to focus on and has been good for me. Sooo...how are you all doing?

p.s. My personal trainer has me on a strict new diet for this training, and after the first week I GAINED 2lbs. But she's told me to hang in there and I'll start seeing it go down. I sure hope she is right! - D55CR

She's right--it's hard to see the scale go up at first, but that's often the way it works with athletic training. It will come off! - Spoonful_O_Sugar 600.1 #318 5:08PM

So sorry to hear about your struggles--my husband's step dad passed away recently and hospice care was really wonderful for the family. Such a tough situation, but they really do help emotionally and physically. Glad to hear that you've got a distraction and goal! Wow--WDW should be so much fun! I've never been out there! The race will be fantastic! It's nice to have something to look forward to :) - Spoonful_O_Sugar

Yes it is nice. I was invited to run with my corporate team for Team in Training (to benefit The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society). I'm really excited and really nervous. The fundraising is keeping me busy, too. Not sure how I'm going to do this, but I'm giving it all I've got. :) - D55CR 249.9 #1289 5:19PM

I'm so sorry, you have a lot to deal with right now. I can't imagine how hard this must be. Can you post a link to your fundraising page for support? - Mrs.mouse

I'm sorry to hear it; I hope you are able to find something steady to help support you through it all. Glad to hear your training is helping in that regard. Hang in there. - Duchess73

Sorry you have so much going on. I feel for you, my Dad's been in the hospital since April 23. It's been such a roller coaster ride! Wishing you much success with your training and the marathon! You got this! - ElectricMayhemMom

I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I know it can be so stressful. Hang in there. - D55CR 249.9 #1289 2:44PM

It's nice to see you here. Sorry that you have so much rough stuff going on right now. But yay for you training for the half!! That is awesome!! - vernswifevickie

Thanks. It seems overwhelming as I've only ever run 5k races, but I'm trying to take it one long run at a time. Tomorrow is 3.5, then it gets tougher in the weeks ahead. Thank God for Jeff Galloway! haha - D55CR 249.9 #1289 2:46PM

Sorry to hear about Mom. I'm glad that you have Hospice to help. I was on the Maui Hospice's Board for 8 years...I think they do such great work. My Mom is about the same but not really talking anymore. I'm going through a rough time trying to realize that there's nothing I can do to "fix" the situation. It just makes me so sad... Oh...great news with the training! I envy you! My boss did the WDW 1/2 marathon this year. She loved it! - msdizmaui

I'm sorry about your Mom, too. It is frustrating when you can't do anything to help them. All we can do is be there with them while we have them here. - D55CR 249.9 #1289 2:47PM

She is doing okay. They have her anti-nausea meds on a rotating schedule which seems to help. She sleeps a lot and is weak, but still communicating just fine. We try to take her out for some fresh air when she feels up to it. - D55CR 249.9 #1289 7:52AM

The weather is ok,t shirt and sweater,jeans,a coat at night(layer and you'll be fine)...it's busy but you're coming at a really good time.you will love it😊and if you have park hoppers for each day you will be able to go back n forth...I live 15 mins away so you can always message me if you need more details or have any weird questions... - DarthFairy

What percentage saving are we looking at for being MouseWaiters? Is it better than a AAA discount. - MoChuck 128.5 #2974 3:57PM

Disneyland unFORECAST (BETA) is here! Top MouseWaiters giving you the rundown of what's happening at the Disneyland Resort. The unFORECAST now has its own page on the web www.unFORECAST.com

unFORECAST for the week of July 27, 2015Crowd levels have been rising since Disneyland's official birthday on July 17th. Looking back at MouseWait's Historical Crowd Index (available in our new MagicPlan iOS Calendar), this week last year averaged in the high 70s, which is light for summer crowds. When temperatures rise, the crowd does thin out a bit (especially Annual Passholders)--and this week should be a hot one with forecasts in the 90s through Sunday. We feel that the crowd level will be similar to last year (high 70s on the Crowd Index) and the heat will keep some away. To get a real-time look at crowd levels, check the MouseWait app for Crowd Index averages and wait times. - Admin Jul 28, 2015 9:36AM

We have always noticed that Saturdays are better than Sundays! We always come on the weekend and say we want to leave at dinner time on Sunday, but always leave by 11-12 because there are so many people. We love Saturday!! - 1Princess3Princes

I agree. I think it has to do with most passes being blocked - PoohSizedGuy 18.6 #7119 11:53PM

Saturday's rule! One of the perks of a premium pass! - snappy 383.1 #553 7:32AM

I love these posts! I do have a question/request/suggestion...is there a way to only show the 3-4 most recent posts? It's a lot to scroll through. @@Admin - TiggersAndTinks

I second this. The info is great to have, but it's too long. - 1HitchhikingGhost 239.1 #1420 5:04PM

I was there this week, Tues, Wed.,Thur. Very hot and muggy. Long lines except single rider lines were great. Because we had 3 days we didn't mind waiting in line. It's so fun to people watch while you wait. We had a great time. Can't wait until next time to go back. - Popcorn
